The original reporter of the Mandriva's bug has added a comment saying that the problem also happens with QEMU. After investigating it for a while I have found that, indeed, QEMU also OOPSes but with a different behaivor. For example, QEMU works with latest 2.6.27-rc3, while virtualbox does not and both get OOPSes with 2.6.26-rc1 and reverting the DEBUG_RODATA commit makes no difference in QEMU, it still get OOPSes.
But the important news is that I have reported this upstream and there is a thread going on :)
Some news.
